Program: Congressionally Recommended Awards / HOME Investment Partnerships Program / Homeland Security Grant Program / Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Disease Federal Financial Assistance Listing Number: 16.753 / 14.239 / 97.067 / 93.323 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Justic...
Program: Congressionally Recommended Awards / HOME Investment Partnerships Program / Homeland Security Grant Program / Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Disease Federal Financial Assistance Listing Number: 16.753 / 14.239 / 97.067 / 93.323 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Justice / U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development / U.S. Department of Homeland Security / U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Award No. and Year: Multiple Compliance Requirements: Other – Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) §200.510(b) - Schedule of expenditures of Federal awards Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance Criteria: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) §200.510(b) states that the auditee (the County) must prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements, which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with §200.502. §200.331 of the Uniform Guidance states the County is responsible for making case-by-case determinations to determine whether the entity receiving the Federal funds is a subrecipient. In addition, §200.303 of the Uniform Guidance states that the County must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal awards, including controls over the accuracy of program information and expenditure amounts. Condition: During our audit procedures performed over the SEFA we noted the following: • The Sheriff-Coroner Department did not properly identify the amount expended for the Congressionally Recommended Awards, AL No. 16.753. The expenditures reported by the Department were overstated by $2,638,516. • The Orange County Community Resources Department did not properly identify the amount of Federal funding passed through to subrecipients for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, AL No. 14.239. The amount passed through to subrecipients reported by the Department was overstated by $4,500,624. • The Sheriff-Coroner Department did not properly identify the amounts expended for the Homeland Security Grant Program, AL No. 97.067. The expenditures reported by the Department were overstated by $715,489. • The Orange County Health Care Agency (HCA) did not properly identify the amount expended for the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Disease program, AL No. 93.323. The expenditures reported by the Agency were overstated by $486,000. Cause: As a result, the County lacked adequate internal controls to ensure the SEFA is completely and accurately stated. Specifically, the County’s processes for recording and tracking expenditures of Federal awards are not designed so that expenditures are identified when incurred. In addition, the County’s processes for identifying and reporting subrecipients are not designed to ensure appropriate reporting on the SEFA. Effect: Adjustments to the SEFA were required. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling: No sampling was used. Program expenditures and amounts passed through to subrecipients were reconciled to the supporting records. Repeat Finding from Prior Years: No. Recommendation: The County, including all its reporting departments, should follow existing policies, procedures and internal controls to ensure all expenditures and amounts passed through to subrecipients are accurately tracked and reported on the SEFA. Personnel knowledgeable of federal expenditures should review amounts coded to federal programs for completeness and accuracy. The SEFA should be prepared and reviewed in a timely manner and reconciled to underlying records as well as the basic financial statements. Management Response and Corrective Action Plan: Health Care Agency: 1. Person Responsible: David Santalahti, HCA Claims & Financial Reporting Manager 2. Corrective action plan: HCA Accounting will review and enhance its procedures and training for analysis and tracking federal award expenditures to ensure expenditures are reported in the appropriate fiscal year period. 3. Anticipated Implementation date: June 30, 2026 Orange County Community Resources: 1. Person Responsible: Bill Malohn, OCCR Accounting Manager 2. Corrective action plan: Concur. OCCR has established policies and internal controls to ensure all expenditures and amounts passed through to subrecipients are accurately tracked and reported on the SEFA. Appropriate personnel review amounts coded to federal programs for completeness and accuracy. We prepare and review the SEFA in a timely manner and reconcile to underlying records as well as the basic financial statements. In this particular situation, we miscategorized one provider as a subrecipient and reported the related funding as such on the SEFA. This oversight had no impact on the total amount we reported on the SEFA. We will be sure to follow our policies and procedures to ensure accurate SEFA reporting. 3. Anticipated Implementation date: February 2, 2026 Sheriff-Coroner: 1. Person Responsible: Monique Vansuch, Fiscal Administrator 2. Corrective action plan: The Sheriff-Coroner Department acknowledges the finding and recognized federal grant expenditure incurred is defined as when expenditures are delivered and/or services are performed rather than when the expenditures are paid. We will strengthen the internal controls to ensure grant expenditures are reported per the Uniform Guidance. 3. Anticipated Implementation date: June 30, 2026

Finding: 2025-001 Reimbursable federal grant revenue Responsible Person: Cecilia Frerotte Title: Contract CFO Phone Number: 617-261-8186 Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026 Corrective Action: Management will enhance grant review and reconciliation procedures to ensure that reimbursable expenditures incurred under cost-reimbursement grants are properly recognized as contribution revenue and federal expenditures in the appropriate period. These procedures will include a grant-by-grant reconciliation of reimbursement requests, refundable advances, award terms, general ledger balances, amounts reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and amounts reported in all other grant-related compliance reports, as applicable. Management will also formalize and expand supervisory review and approval controls over all grant compliance reporting and year end financial reporting, including the SEFA. In addition, the Board plans to increase the size of the Audit Committee to include members with substantial experience in auditing and grant program oversight. The Audit Committee will meet regularly with both the external auditors and the outsourced accounting firm to provide enhanced governance and oversight of grant accounting and compliance matters.

2025-001: Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: Educational Stabilization Fund ASSISTANCE LISTING Numbers: 84.425C – Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund 84.425R – Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools 84.425U – Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund 84.425V – Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools Award Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matter Recommendation: We recommend that the University evaluate its cutoff procedures to ensure that federal costs are identified and reported in the correct fiscal year. We also recommend that the University evaluate its internal controls to ensure that federal awards are properly identified as such at inception. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: OSU is implementing a campus-wide Administrative Modernization Program (AMP) to update technology, improve efficiencies, and ensure a comprehensive internal control environment. This modernization includes redesigning the university’s administrative and grant processes, including budget development, payroll lifecycle, employee recruitment, grant effort reporting, procurement, and others. A primary aspect of this optimization is a transition of the university’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system from Banner to Workday effective July 1, 2026. To reflect this system transition, OSU’s actions in response to the finding will be taken in two stages: 1. For FY26, the Division of Research and Innovation (DRI) will run reports and screen for anomalies and mismatches of revenue type and fund type to identify awards with the correct federal fund when a federal program is identified with an ALN#. The screening will take place before the fiscal year end, allowing time for corrections to be made in Banner while the fiscal year is still active. 2. For FY27 and beyond, rather than a warning, critical custom validations will be required and established in Workday as follows: • Any award that uses an ALN# also must include the appropriate Fund and Revenue Category worktags on the award line • Any award with a federal sponsor or federal prime sponsor must have ALN# entered • Any award with a federal sponsor or federal prime sponsor must include the appropriate Fund and Revenue Category worktag on the award line Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Jennifer Creighton, Associate Vice President for Research Administration, Finance and Operations Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Corrective action to screen for anomalies and mismatches of revenue type and fund type in Banner to ensure awards are identified with the correct federal fund will occur by June 30, 2026. The establishment of custom validations in Workday to ensure identification of federal awards will occur and be ongoing with the new system implementation after July 1, 2026.

2025-006 – Internal Control Deficiency in Financial Reporting – Untimely Recording of Grant Program Expenditures Cluster: Not applicable Sponsoring Agency: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Award Name: USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas Award Number: 7200AA19CA00018, 7200AA21LE00003 Assistance Listing Title: USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas Assistance Listing Number: ALN 98.001 Award Year: 2024-2025 Pass-through entity: Not applicable Compliance Requirement: Schedule of Expenditure of Federal Awards Reporting and Period of Performance On January 1, 2024, the campus converted from the Kuali Financial System (KFS) to the Oracle Cloud financial system (AE). There was a pre-conversion blackout period from mid-November 2023 through January 1, 2024. Additionally, as part of this transition, advance account balances were not initially migrated and were subsequently moved into AE projects. This resulted in changes to how these balances were tracked and processed. Initially, these balances were placed in a single project, and there were delays in processing liquidations until balances could be reconciled and distributed to the individual projects established for each sub awardee. Due to these delays and the pre-conversion blackout period, a backlog of transactions was created. Reconciliations and liquidations were subsequently processed in September 2024. As of September 2024, the process for advance liquidations has been implemented, including distributing balances to the appropriate projects. These procedures are now in place and have been fully implemented through the established process. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Mario Reina-Guerra at mreinaguerra@ucdavis.edu.

The Authority will develop and implement a standardized fiscal year transition and grant charging process to ensure controls are in place for accurate and timely recording of grant eligible expenditures. As part of this process, the Authority will develop a verification checklist for all funding source reclassification journal entries to ensure compliance prior to posting. This process will: - Identify all stakeholders responsible for year‑end grant reconciliation and reporting. - Establish a required review and approval process to be completed before any change in funding source or charging mode. - Update Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual to include guidelines to limit reclassification of expenditures incurred in prior fiscal years. - Set a formal annual cut-off date for Program Offices to request current year funding source reclassifications, allowing sufficient time for the Funds and Grants Management team to review and meet fiscal year‑end reporting deadlines. - Refine current monitoring mechanism for “yet‑to‑bill” transactions throughout the fiscal year for transferred transactions that originated in the general ledger to ensure all federal expenditures incurred within the period are reviewed and reported in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting. - Ensure the requirements for eligibility of expenses for Federal grants from 2 CFR 200.403 are enforced.

RE: Finding 2025-003 Misreporting of Pass-Through Grant Expenditures in Compliance Report In conjunction with our FY25 annual audit, please see the City's corrective action plan below: The City of Sand Springs will strengthen internal controls over federal grant reporting to ensure proper distinction between direct federal awards and federal pass-through grants, in accordance with Uniform Guidance and SLFRF requirements. Specifically, the City will implement the following corrective actions: Separate Tracking of Direct vs. Pass-Through Funds o The Finance Department will revise grant accounting procedures to clearly segregate expenditures related to: Direct SLFRF (ARPA) awards administered by the City, and Federal pass-through grants administered by external entities, including OWRB. o Separate project codes and/or accounting identifiers will be maintained to prevent commingling of expenditures. Revision of SLFRF Reporting Procedures o Written procedures for preparation and review of the SLFRF Compliance Report will be updated to explicitly state that: Only expenditures related to direct federal awards are to be reported by the City, and Expenditures related to pass-through grants are excluded and reported by the pass-through entity. o A documented review step will be added to verify that reported expenditures align with the funding source prior to submission. Staff Training and Awareness o Finance staff involved in grant accounting and reporting will receive targeted training on: Uniform Guidance requirements (2 CFR 200), The distinction between direct federal awards and pass-through grants, and Proper SEFA and SLFRF reporting responsibilities. o Training will be documented and incorporated into onboarding materials for future staff.
